Definitions

  • the disclosed technology relates to a lubricant, suitable for use in an internal combustion engine, which containing a metal-containing detergent which provides basicity to the lubricant.
  • a defined dispersant is present, leading to superior retention of the basicity (TBN, ASTM D 974) during use of the lubricant.
  • Lubrication of internal combustion engines has been a practice for many decades, yet continual improvement in lubricant technology is ongoing as new engines and new standards have been developed.
  • Formulations directed to passenger car engines for instance, must address limits placed on sulfated ash, phosphorus, and sulfur content (“SAPS"), and restrictions in these components often lead to upper limits on the amount of metal-containing detergent that can be included in the lubricant.
  • SAPS sulfated ash, phosphorus, and sulfur content
  • One of the benefits that metal-containing detergents provide to the lubricant is basicity (measurable as TBN), which is available for various functions, including neutralization of acidic byproducts of combustion.
  • TBN basicity
  • some engine tests specify a minimum TBN level remaining at the end of the test.
  • TBN retention has become an important parame- ter in design and selection of engine lubricants.
  • Good TBN retention is associated with the ability of a lubricant to protect the engine from corrosive wear and maintaining that protection over an extended period of time.
  • the disclosed technology therefore, solves the problem of providing good TBN retention (and associated benefits) by selection of a suitable dispersant, as described herein.
  • the desirable dispersants typically have a high total acid number (TAN).
  • the disclosed technology provides a lubricant composition
  • a lubricant composition comprising: (a) an oil of lubricating viscosity; (b) at least one metal-containing detergent in an amount to provide at least 2 TBN to the lubricant; (c) a dispersant comprising an oleophilic portion comprising at least 40 carbon atoms and an acid-bearing portion, characterized in having a TAN:TBN ratio of at least 0.8, wherein said dispersant is present in an amount of at least 0.1 percent by weight and wherein said dispersant provides at least 0.025 TAN to the lubricant composition.
  • the lubricant has a sulfated ash value of up to 1.1 percent.
  • the disclosed technology also provides a method for lubricating a mechanical device, comprising supplying thereto the above-described lubricating composition.

  • the disclosed technology further provides for the use of a dispersant comprising an oleophilic portion comprising at least about 40 carbon atoms and an acid-bearing portion, characterized in having a TAN:TBN ratio of at least about 0.8, to improve the TBN retention of a lubricant employed for lubricating an internal combustion engine, wherein said lubricant comprises (a) an oil of lubricating viscosity and (b) at least one metal-containing detergent in an amount to provide at least about 2 TBN to the lubricant; wherein said dispersant is present in an amount of at least about 0.1 percent by weight and wherein said dispersant provides at least about 0.025 TAN to the lubricant composition.

Hydrotreated or hydrocracked oils are also useful oils of lubricating viscosity. Oils of lubricating viscosity derived from coal or shale are also useful.
  • Synthetic oils include hydrocarbon oils and halosubstituted hydrocarbon oils such as polymerized and interpolymerized olefins and mixtures thereof, alkylbenzenes, polyphenyl, alkylated diphenyl ethers, and alkylated diphenyl sulfides and their derivatives, analogs and homologues thereof.

  • Refined oils are similar to the unrefined oils except they have been further treated in one or more purification steps to improve one or more properties.
  • Rerefmed oils are obtained by processes similar to those used to obtain refined oils applied to refined oils which have been already used in service. Rerefmed oils often are additionally processed to remove spent additives and oil breakdown products.
  • the lubricants of the disclosed technology will also include at least one metal-containing detergent in an amount to provide at least 2 TBN to the lubricant.
  • Metal-containing detergents are typically overbased materials, or overbased detergents, and in one embodiment, the metal-containing detergent comprises an overbased detergent.
  • Overbased materials otherwise referred to as overbased or superbased salts, are generally homogeneous Newtonian systems characterized by a metal content in excess of that which would be present for neutralization according to the stoichiometry of the metal and the particular acidic organic com- pound reacted with the metal.
  • the overbased materials are prepared by reacting an acidic material (typically an inorganic acid or lower carboxylic acid, such as carbon dioxide) with a mixture comprising an acidic organic compound, a reaction medium comprising at least one inert, organic solvent (e.g., mineral oil, naphtha, toluene, xylene) for said acidic organic material, a stoichiometric excess of a metal base, and a promoter such as a phenol or alcohol and optionally ammonia.
  • the acidic organic material will normally have a sufficient number of carbon atoms, for instance, as a hydrocarbyl substituent, to provide a reasonable degree of solubility in oil.

  • a neutral metal salt has a metal ratio of one.
  • a salt having 4.5 times as much metal as present in a normal salt will have metal excess of 3.5 equivalents, or a ratio of 4.5.
  • overbased detergents are conventionally prepared using a hydrocarbyl- substituted succinic anhydride, in a small amount, as a processing or manufacturing aid. Accordingly, a small amount of the corresponding metal salt may be present in the overbased detergent as it is commercially supplied. This minor, incidental presence is not to be considered the presence of the dispersant as described herein.
  • TBN Total Base Number
  • KOH potassium hydroxide
  • overbased detergents are commonly provided in a form which contains a certain amount of diluent oil, for example, 40-50% oil, the actual TBN value for such a detergent will depend on the amount of such diluent oil present, irrespective of the "inherent" basicity of the overbased material.
  • the TBN of an overbased detergent is to be recalculated to an oil-free basis.
  • Detergents which are useful in the present technology may typically have a TBN (oil-free basis) of 100 to 800, and in one embodiment 150 to 750, and in another, 400 to 700. If multiple detergents are employed, the overall TBN of the detergent component (that is, an average of all the specific detergents together) will typically be in the above ranges, and the required contribution to the TBN of the metal-containing detergent component will be the total of the contributions of each individual detergent.

  • the dispersant is prepared by a process that involves the presence of small amounts of chlorine or other halogen, as described in U.S. Patent 7,615,521 , see, e.g., col. 4 and preparative example A.
  • Such dispersants typically have some carbocyclic structures in the attachment of the hydrocarbyl substituent to the acidic or ami die “head” group.
  • the dispersant is prepared by a thermal process involving an "ene” reaction, without the use of any chlorine or other halogen, as described in U.S. Patent 7,615,521. See col. 4, bottom, col. 5, and preparative example B.
  • Such disper- sants typically do not contain the above-described carbocyclic structures at the point of attachment.
  • Another class of ashless dispersant is high molecular weight esters. These materials are similar to the above-described succinimides except that they may be seen as having been prepared by reaction of a hydrocarbyl acylating agent and a polyhydric aliphatic alcohol such as glycerol, pentaerythritol, or sorbitol. Such materials are described in more detail in U.S. Patent 3,381,022.

  • Mannich bases are materials which are formed by the condensation of a higher molecular weight, alkyl substituted phenol, an alkylene polyamine, and an aldehyde such as formaldehyde. Such materials may have the general structure
  • dispersants include polymeric dispersant additives, which are generally hydrocarbon-based polymers which contain polar functionality to impart dispersancy characteristics to the polymer.

Among these are urea, thiourea, dimercaptothiadiazoles, carbon disulfide, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, hydrocarbon-substituted succinic anhydrides, nitriles, epoxides, boron compounds, and phosphorus compounds. References detailing such treatment are listed in U.S. Patent 4,654,403.
